Mr. H.A. is a 50-year-old Ghanaian
accountant who was admitted 2 days ago to hospital following a
blackout whilst watching a football match with his son.
His preliminary examination reveals bruising to his left arm and
upper thigh for which he has been prescribed paracetamol 1g
four times daily and as required
ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day.
His past medical history indicates that he is on
no medication and seemed to be a reasonably fit man for his age with
no existing diagnosed medical conditions. On examination he is
slightly overweight at 81 kg, he smokes 20 cigarettes per day and
drinks approximately 30 units of alcohol per week. His blood
pressure on admission was 165/80 mmHg with a heart rate of 90 beats
per minute. This degree of raised blood pressure and heart rate has
been maintained over the last 48 hours. He is subsequently
diagnosed as having hypertension.
